Huang Qiang is quite capable; he tidied up the house to a very decent condition in less than half a month.
Because Yu Yin said there was no rush, Huang Qiang didn't ask for help and repaired it himself bit by bit, so he could earn more money that way.
After the house passed inspection, the accounts were settled, and the labor costs were paid, Yu Yin felt at ease.
As for that shop, it doesn't need much tidying up; it's already been rented out, and the rent has been collected for several months, and it's quite a bit.
There are always politically astute individuals who thoroughly understand national policies. While others fear policy changes and future crackdowns on speculation, they've already rented houses, started small businesses, and tested the waters.
The couple who rented the shop from Yin and her family ran a wonton shop. The wife was good at making mixed vegetables, and with the wontons and mixed vegetables, they earned quite a bit every day.
Once someone starts something, others will follow suit. It's not even summer vacation yet, but there are already more street vendors selling all sorts of things.
Huang Shan from next door also joined the ranks of street vendors. She had been waiting for almost half a year, but there was still no news about a job. Every day, a large number of people would crowd around the former educated youth settlement, sobbing and unable to see any hope.
There are too many people in the family, and my two brothers' wives are quite resentful, constantly throwing things and fighting. It's so annoying!
Huang Shan is not afraid of trouble, nor is she afraid of fighting. But when she sees her parents getting older, their backs hunched over, and their white hair outnumbering their black hair, she can't bear it.
She didn't have much savings left, so she had to find a way out. If she didn't get married, she would have to earn her own money. She couldn't rely on others for the rest of her life. No one owed anyone anything, and in the end, she would have to rely on herself.
Huang Shan wandered the streets for several days, observing how others set up their stalls and what they sold.
She summarized a few points: these are generally daily necessities, small items like needles and thread, socks, insoles, vests, etc., which are probably all wholesaled from large markets.
Some came from the surrounding rural areas, selling vegetables, eggs, grains, and other produce grown at home, which sold out quickly. Their vegetables were fresh, cheaper than those in grocery stores, and they even gave away free scallions or other items if you bought too much.
Huang Shan looked around and realized she couldn't handle vegetables or anything like that, and the needles and thread were too small and the profit margin was low.
Finally, she set her sights on jewelry and gifts.
Her home is close to Shanghai University, so the students are her customers.
Huang Shan also consulted Yu Yin, asking her what current college students like, their spending power, what price range of goods they are willing to accept, how many college students are dating, and whether couples exchange gifts...
Yu Yin was very surprised. This was definitely a sales expert. He could observe and analyze the market, find problems, use concise language, and knew how to grasp customer psychology. He was a genius!
Yu Yin and Huang Shan talked a lot, occasionally throwing in some marketing tips and ideas from later generations. Huang Shan was very quick to learn and absorbed a lot from Yu Yin, then prepared to put them into practice.
When Aunt Huang was chatting with Yu Yin, she clearly expressed her concern for Huang Shan. She felt that running a small business was unstable, didn't guarantee housing, and wouldn't have a pension when she got old. What would she do then?
I'm almost thirty, and at that age, I'm not in a rush to find a partner. If I were to set up a stall again, I'd become a self-employed individual, which would damage my reputation and make it even harder to find a partner.
Yu Yin couldn't offer any advice; it wasn't something she could decide. It was Huang Shan's own business, whether it was marriage or work. Although Aunt Huang was a mother, she couldn't completely control Huang Shan's affairs either.
Aunt Huang just wanted someone to chat with. Knowing that Yu Yin was tight-lipped and didn't like gossiping, and was quite familiar with Huang Shan, she came over to say a few words.
The way people get along really depends on fate.
Yu Yin has lived here for so long, and has met and spoken with Aunt Huang's two daughters-in-law, but she has no desire to get to know them.
Huang Shan and Yun Duo, however, were different. Yu Yin and the others could connect on a deeper level, not just in terms of the content of their conversations, but also in their views on things and their attitudes towards life. They were also among the few friends Yu Yin had made in Shanghai.
Yu Yin knows she has difficulty integrating into unfamiliar groups of people; it's just her personality.
The negative experiences from my two lifetimes still have a significant impact on me now. I find it difficult to make new friends because I've been rejected and abandoned so many times that I'm afraid of it.
Halfway through university, she still wasn't very familiar with her classmates, and Zheng Yue was the only one she could really talk to in the dorm. She took the initiative to reach out to Yu Yin, and Yu Yin passively accepted. After spending time together, they became friends.
However, few people have the patience to slowly get to know someone; they give up after one or two tries. Yu Yin is a slow-to-warm-up person, making it difficult for her to make close friends.
There are four children in the family. An'an and Kuai Kuai are the social butterflies who can quickly make friends with people. Ping Ping is more introverted, but she also makes many like-minded friends. Gradually, she became like Yu Yin, who doesn't like socializing and doesn't care whether she has friends or not; she can stay at home by herself.
Unlike when Yu Yin was a child, she was slow to react to anything. Now she doesn't like to move, she doesn't care, and just wants to do things at her own pace.
She's gradually getting better at drawing, learning step by step from her grandfather, the professor. She's very serious and persevering, practicing every day without fail.
Kuai Kuai has been practicing calligraphy for a while now, which has smoothed out his temperament a lot. He's not so impulsive anymore, and he doesn't act rashly or without considering the consequences.
The children are all excellent, and Yu Yin never hesitates to praise them. She tries her best to communicate with them on an equal footing, respects their opinions, and listens patiently to what they have to say.
Yu Yin's family, young and old, all have things they want to do, keeping them busy yet fulfilled!
Yu Yin didn't pay much attention to Huang Shan's side. She would chat with Yun Duo occasionally. She was very busy, taking care of the three children, and the two younger ones needed constant care.
